something is telling me he (Mourinho) is gonna win it, I don't knw, but the man has a way of doing it like a magic, anytime he come to a new club he wins the title in the first season, but I'm sure champions league football is Man United priority for now.

Did you forget his name 'the special one',we should expect a tough season full of exciting matches in premiership and i also expect them to perform in champions league. Naijabet man say so
